the mirage of existence * 1/12/13


The experience/consciousness riddle
is far more confounding
than, “which came first,
the chicken and the egg” or
than “why’d the chicken
cross the road”.
It is more fundamental
than ground/figure is to sight,
or spectrum is to seeing.
Think of it this way, per chance,
that ‘experience is to mass
as consciousness is to universe’.
Consciousness precedes experience
even though it seems to be
that consciousness’s main diet
is consuming
and digesting experience.
It’s all in how you set the table.
Well, it may be the first order
to deeply question,
what you call ‘the table’
and from where within yourself
do you come from,
to appear ‘to set’.
If you think that experience is
the nutrition you live on,
then your apparent life
maybe ‘the table’ that you dine at
and ‘setting the table’
is ongoing, as living it.
Thus it appears,
and justifiably so,
that experience is
the main provider
for consciousness to exist, 
assuming that there is
a going forward.
Yes, time and space
got throw into the equation,
sort as usable utensils,
based upon the assumptions
made about table, (as reality)
and the setting,
(as personal preferences)
and self experience
as consumable diet.
Once again,
think of it this way,
‘experience is to mass
as consciousness is to universe’.
In mass, experience is reduced
to symbology.
In consciousness,
spirit gives life to isness.
In mass, we lived confined
and defined by time and space.
In consciousness,
we are the miracle of the one,
manifesting as the one,
coming from the one,
expressing as the one
yet disguised as the diversity
of the one but also
somewhat manifest in doing so.
Mind, body, spirit,
conveys the illusion as
we live it alive.
Thus the mirage
of existence . . .
